This will be my moms last Mothers Day, since she has terminal cancer and won’t make it 12 more months. I want to do something really special. She has about 2-3hrs of energy but can’t really walk or go out. She is a spunky and goofy woman. Would love if anyone has suggestions/ideas! I’d love to have something like a musician or photographer come to our house.. special but at home. Ideas??

How about facetime members of your family and have them tell her a special memory, why she is special, or what ever they want to say and you film it on another phone so she can look at it anytime she wants.

What does she like to do?

First, I cannot tell you how sorry I am. This time last year my mom passed out, and when I thought she had died, I felt the world shift under me. That said, based on things I’ve done with my mom, take her to an Antonelli’s cheese tasting. They have pairings with different things from Halloween candy to wine to pantry items to chocolate and more. I took my mom to one on a farm with goats and brunch and bubbly. Maybe you could rent a boat and take her out on the lake.

Wow!! Thank you for the thoughtful responses and well wishes!! I think I’m going to do all of these over the next couple of months 💕🌸

OP I am so sorry to hear that. As someone who lost my mother at a young age I understand how you are feeling. I definitley love the idea of having a photographer come and take family photos for you to cherish always.

My partner and I bought our home back in 2020. We got a good deal, low rate. But we want to move into a more spacious SFH. However, as we all know this market is crazy. Everything we want costs $620k+ and bc of rates it makes our mortgage estimates $3500+. We are currently paying $2k. And it looks we need to sell the house simultaneously as look for a new one or our contingency isn’t as attractive. I know it’s based on personal circumstances. But what would you do? - not move, sell and buy?
